Hey, excellent product, it works!
Brilliant helmet, light and comfortable. Easy slide mechs for lifting the front and clicks down one handed feeling secure.
A £650 helmet that doesn’t disappoint! I had the GT-Air 1 and this is a really good upgrade while staying true to what the original model was. Feels a little quieter and lighter but it’s hard to say for certain. The comms are a game changer though, a bit of a fiddle to fit but they are super neat once done. I would highly recommend if you were a fan of the other models
New range of helmets are what you would expect from Shoei. I got slight thicker cheek pads fitted and everything is comfortably snug. Strap closure feels secure and visor movement is positive. Well vented and easy to operate vents on chin and head. No noticeable reduction in wind noise from previous models. The Cardo adapter clips on tightly and feels solid in place.
The delivery was on time, and the visor quality is excellent. Installation was easy – I replaced the old visor without any issues. The dark smoke tint is very dark, making it perfect for bright, sunny days, but not suitable for night riding. Highly recommended if you need a visor for sunny conditions.
The people at SBS once again went above and beyond to help. After trying 2 different shell sizes and numerous thicknesses of liner we eventually got one that fitted! And it is a great helmet with good noise reduction. Only fly in the ointment is it appears to leak a little at the visior in heavy rain.
Excellent quality as would expect, and the finish of the graphics are brilliant.
